    Truth is I’ve been suffering from a bad back for a few months - so the Born has been much easier without the hard suspension and all the leg/foot movement changing gear in the Fiesta. The Ford...

    Life’s too short to be close-minded imho!! - don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I put away the mechanical watches and slip on a cheeky quartz! And as I type this I’m wearing a positively filthy, pervy...

    I’ve noticed this with people stepping in front of me in car parks - I asked my wife to reverse the car on the drive as I was not sure the car was making the ‘whirring noise’ it’s supposed to at low...

    One of the unexpected benefits of EV ownership has been the clueless and often hilarious questions I’ve been asked by friends, family and colleagues.

    Amazing what a difference temperature makes to an EV. My journeys in December/Jan were normally between 0-4 Celsius and the car was telling me I was getting an average 2.1 miles/kwh. Today the car...

    That surprises me - I’ve always had better fuel economy at or below 70 in an ICE car when on the motorway - start pushing it and economy drops dramatically in my experience. I drive on lots of A...

    I’m still confused - octopus talks to my Ohme home pro charger which I’ve set to only charge at 7.5p so between 11.30pm and 5.30am. That’s 6 hours. There is no direct link with Cupra and I don’t...
